1 Socio-ecological production landscapes, Agroforestry and the Satoyama Initiative Dennis Garrity, Director General Roberto Porro, Latin America Regional Coordinator World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)

2 World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) One of the 15 International Research Centers of the CGIAR. Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya Activities in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Southern Africa, West and Central Africa and Sahel, East Africa and Latin America (Amazon offices in Peru and Brazil)

3 About Us and Our Mission Scientific knowledge about the diverse and complex roles of trees in agricultural landscapes should support policies and programs to enhance livelihoods and to conserve the environment. The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF): generates science-based knowledge on the diverse roles that trees play in rural transformation in the developing world where smallholder households strategically increase their use of trees in agricultural landscapes to improve their food security, nutrition, income, health, shelter, energy resources and environmental sustainability.

4 Two trends seem almost universal in the tropics: -- the number of trees in forests is declining, and -- the number of trees on farms is increasing FAO State of the World s Forests

6 Agroforests are thus components of Socio-ecological production landscapes SEPLs are dynamic mosaics of habitats and land uses that have been shaped over the years by interactions between people and nature. When managed effectively, they are beneficial to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem services

7 Benefits of Agroforestry-based SEPLs: Biodiversity: habitat structure connectedness and direct increase in species richness and evenness Livelihoods: food security, income security, long-term sustainability, non-cash benefits, diversification of productive base Climate change mitigation (of carbon emissions) through sequestration in soil and biomass, as well as conservation of forest C stocks. Adaptation: increased soil water holding capacity, soil fertility; integration of drought resilient trees into agricultural systems. Partnering with local communities through supporting sustainable land use systems helps to ensure resilient social and ecological landscapes.

8 SEPLs Case West Java, Indonesia West Java is highly populated, and most land is a mosaic of rice paddy fields, agroforestry, and forests. These landscapes reduce soil erosion, control water flow, while providing fruits, fuel, and livelihood elements.

9 SEPLs Case Mt. Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania Chagga communities have practiced complex agroforestry for centuries, providing key ecosystem services to protect critical watersheds and biodiversity on Mt. Kilimanjaro, which is recently under threat of climate change.

10 SEPLs Case Kagogo, Northern Rwanda Erosion caused loss of fertile soil, leading to sediment and pollution in lakes and rivers. Sustainable land management, esp. AF has reversed soil degradation and kept water clean, benefitting local communities.

11 SEPLs Case Evergreen Agriculture Faidherbia albida agroforests on millions of hectares in Africa enhance soil fertility and increase food crop yields. These locally-developed systems exploit the tree s unique trait: dormancy during the growing season.

12 SEPLs Case The Amazon Agroforests of Tomé-Açú Japanese-Brazilians settled in Para state since the 1930s have successfully recovered degraded lands through combining cash crops (black pepper), commercial fruit trees (cocoa, cupuaçú, açai palm), timber trees, and the surrounding forests. These AF systems provide environmental conservation, livelihood security and regional development.

13 ICRAF supports an International Partnership to promote SEPLs (compatible with Satoyama concept) Ensure synergy, complementarities among all the activities of organisations maximize resources and strengthen the work of each other (with knowledge, expertise etc.)

14 Expected Role (I) Enhance Understanding and Raising Awareness Dissemination, Education Promotion Research on ways & means to: Promote wisdom on ecosystem services Bridge TEK & modern science Explore new forms of co-management Revitalize and support innovation on SEPL integrate policy results & decision-making Measurable indicators of resilience for SEPL Case-studies, lessons learned & Online tools and databases Collaborative Projects Partners * Partners ** Partners***

15 Expected Role (II) Support and Expand Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes Enhance capacity (e.g. through regional workshops) Provide support (financial, institutional, technological etc.) for on-the-ground projects and activities

16 Proposed Global Partnership for Research & Mobilization on SEPLs and the Satoyama Initiative Trajectory of previous collaborative events Side events at World Congress on Agroforestry in Agroforestry Symposium in Tokyo, Dec 2009 Preparation on Paris Declaration at UNESCO Paris, Jan 2010 Nairobi SBSTTA, April 2010 Future Activities Joint preparation and meetings: COP10 at Nagoya Furthering partnership for networking on Research and Policy

17 Partnership s modus operandi Membership is open to all organizations and donors dealing with socio-ecological production landscapes Nagoya 2010: Further develop the strategy of the partnership, roles and responsibilities, and its funding scheme Brazilian government is welcome to attend!
